Types of Assault & Battery Charges

Although they are often charged together, assault and battery are actually
different crimes. Assault has to do with the threat of harm, while battery
involves causing physical harm. There are also aggravating factors which
can affect the seriousness of the charges you are facing. For example,
strangulation or the use of a deadly weapon can take a simple battery
charge and turn it into a felony.

A few types of assault and battery charges you could face include:

Simple assault

Protected class assault

Assault with a deadly weapon

Battery with little harm

Battery with significant harm

Battery with a deadly weapon

Battery against a protected class
